Hi ITIL _guru, can you please answer me?
I have passed my ITIL v3 foundation exam yesterday. When Im thinking about the next level,ther eis a doubt came up in my mind.

Intermediate level have 2 sections as Service Level (5 modules)and service capability(4 sections). Is it necessary to take each module from the each sections in order to pass the intermediate level OR any module out of 9 modules will help to pass the intermediate level.? What is the criteria in order to pass the level?
Can anyone one please answer me?

NOT true. You are required to have completed only 30 hours of classroom training, a standard five day course would give you that. Once you have completed just one Intermediate exam in a classroom you can then self study for the rest and sit the exam directly at BCS for example. Book here:

eprofessional. bcs. org/Portal/Candidate/Exams

This is MUCH cheaper than paying for 5 or more £600 courses. Just buy a few books and lookup the sample papers online. They are just a google away. I passed three Intermediate exams this way and saved a packet.

It might be a tad ambiguous. You could take the following to mean EACH exam requires 21 hours of classroom training or that the Eligibility for the entire Capability course just requires 21 hours of classroom training.

"Eligibility for Capability module examinations
Candidates shall fulfil the following requirements
„ At least 21hours of classroom based instruction with an Accredited Training Organisation (ATO) or the
accredited equivalent via an e-learning provider based on this syllabus, as part of a formal, approved training
course – in addition, 21 hours of personal study are recommended
„ ITIL Foundation Certificate in IT Service Management or v2 to v3 Bridge equivalent"

So you can do one or two classroom five day courses and you are set to go to complete the other exams of the capability or lifecycle modules via self study and then take the other exams at an accredited vendor.

However I've passed the exams pretty easily with self study. The only requirements I've ever been asked for are the valid pass certificates. I just have the Release capability module left, then the MALC will obviously be completed in a classroom over 5 days as it's a group activity.

Well I received no 'proof' I attended classroom training when I did for one of my intermediate exams, and I was not required to show proof I had taken a classroom based course before I took the exam-only at BCS, BCS also ask if you are doing a resit or not and sell you the exam either way. BCS provided and released my passed certs that are identical and from the same authority that provided my certs from the £699 4 day course.

Call it a loophole if you like, it's certainly cheaper. £250 for the exam only compared to £600-£700 per course. Over 4-5 exams that certainly stacks up.

Can any one help me to know whether is it possible for to do ITIL intermediate preparation by our self or is it necessary to go through training centre classes?
if by own self then minimum how much time it will take for preparation and cost for per module and any suggestion site for the same or buying or downloading materials too.
